rr^ «Mr. Jack Collins June 5 Page 2 s^v were set by the City and were not met by the owner. On August 25« 1980 the City Council approved a final extension of the deadline for connection to Juno 1, 1981, regardless of the outcome of the sub division application. (Previous deadlines had been set based on allowing a reasonable period for completion of the subdivision and installing a sewer line with capacity to serve all building sites created) Mrs. Olson was required to sign an agreement that she %rculd make the connection before June 1. 1901. A $5,000 bond or letter of credit was required by the City. Prior to October 31, 1900, the tanks were to be deactivated and used as holding tanks until was connected# Mrs. Olsot and her agents failed to agree, and failed to provide th' letter of credit. On October 17, 1980, 3 ci^^•^t.lon was issued to Gladys Olson for failure to connect to available sanitary sewer. A complaint was further tiled with the Hennepin County Municipal Court on January 14, 1981. Because of the onqoing subdivision application and acts of apparent good faith by Gladys’ agent, Mr. Kaye WesterlunJ, the charges were eventually dismissed in fall of 1981, although Mr. Westerlund was notified that the property was still in violation. The subdivii;ion application was never completed. A second subdivision application was filed by' Gene Rarn>t and Associates on January 7, 1982. A $5,000 letter of credit for sower construction was filed on April 19, 1982, to be drawn upon by the City in the event the sewer connection was not completed on a timely basis. Carnst found that the City Council would not be willing to approve a total of four units on the peninsula and on Scptem±»er 13, 1982, Tonka Lake Properties, as the owner, withdrew the four-nnit PRD application and sought preliminary approval of a three-lot plat as had boon proposed in the original 1980 application. On September 27, 1982, preliminary approval was granted per Resolution No. 1415. The letter of credit (in the name of Deni is Killian) was extended to May 1 , 1983, and later extended to June 1, 1984 as a result of private litigations holding up the developers. The subdivision has never been completed and has expired. No work has been done on the property. The ownership of the properties has changed a number of times. The City allowed the letter of credit to expire on June I, 1984 without drawing upon it, based on the advice of tho City Attorney who noted bor»iuso of the wordinQ it would be nOiirly impossible to draw on without having already comoleted the work. We intend to proceed with a haiartlous building .iction on the b.isis that this IS a lakeshore prop*»rty with septic syst«'*ms not meeting code r«M|in rements and City si'wer available. Our intent is to prohibit occupancy of the house at IJ40 Haldur Park Road until the residence IS connected to the municipal sewer. I expect the hazardous building action will comm'nee early this summer.
